Monica Bonded out of Haskell: Why not Suzi?

We mentioned the imprisonment of high school student Monica, who was taken to Haskell after being busted at a Senior Skip-Day party. Here’s a belated update from Larry James Urban Daily blog. We cheer for Monica’s freedom, and we wonder, why has Suzi Hazahza not been offered a bond?–gm

Monday morning (March 12, 2007) thanks to an extremely generous donor and friend of CDM and this family, Monica and Jose were bonded out of the detention center.

If I reported the cost of the bond, you would be shocked. Two very fine high school seniors, far from criminals in any sense of the word, were forced to come up with an outlandish amount of money to secure their release while they await a hearing before an immigration judge.

After paying the bond in Dallas at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE–formerly Immigration and Naturalization Services), the same donor drove to Haskell and brought the two young people home on Monday evening.
